Marcus Williams, safety

One of the more underrated playmakers in the nation, Williams brings range and closing burst to the ball at safety. He had 5 INTs in both 2015 and ’16. Williams is a natural Day Two draft fit for the departed Quintin Demps’ role.

Hunter Dimick, outside linebacker

Dimick was a major disruptive force off the edge, registering 14.5 sacks and 7 passes defensed as a senior. He plays with a relentless style and a great inside yank/swim move. Dimick missed the Shrine Game with injury but worked out at Utah, and boy did he work out…

Three other offensive linemen, guard Isaac Asiata and tackles J.J. Dielman and Sam Tevi, will all get NFL looks. Dielman played center in 2016 before getting hurt and that could be his NFL role.

Cornerback Brian Allen is long at 6-foot-2 and has some strong run support and special teams ability. Running back Joe Williams briefly retired before rekindling his love of the game and earning a Shrine Game berth.
